Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same.
This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
I'd really like to see legislation saying laws cannot be written by AI.
Because I promise you they already are. Legislative services in multiple states help candidates write laws, and I promise they're going to start using it if they aren't already.
Convincing young people that America is poor & no one can afford anything & everyone is living paycheck to paycheck & their economic future is doomed ... IS NOT GOING TO LEAD TO MORE PROGRESSIVE POLICY. People who feel anxious & under threat do not respond with openness & generosity! Look it up!
Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.
Top 5 performances in THE ODYSSEY
1. Robert Pattinson (extremely funny)
2. Matt Damon
3. Samantha Morton (one of the best female characters Nolan has ever written)
4. Himesh Patel (enjoyed how every single one of his lines had a “Jesus Christ man” subtext)
5. Argus the Dog (good boy)
Wrexham, Liverpool, Leeds, and Sunderland are all on a US Tour where each team plays all of the others. This is effectively a mini-tournament. Wrexham and Liverpool have 3 points each so far 🤣
Can Wrexham lift the USA Cup? 🏆🇺🇸

Wondering if y’all could discuss the benefits of staying in the Wales league and getting to play in the Champions league vs the higher level of play in the English Women’s FA?

I love when acronyms become words and people feel the need to use the last word of the acronym again. Like “PIN Number”.
Rereading Golden Son (book 2 of the Red Rising series) and the characters said he let something on to the corner of his “HUD Display” lol

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
i've been trying to figure out exactly why the world cup is making all of bluesky insane and i thinj it's a confluence of our sports posters working territory outside their usual lane and our politics posters being deeply, deeply underwater
I know I’m just a salty American but I *love* how in Soccer stepping on someone’s ankle is “endangering the player’s health,” but head butting someone 8 feet in the air is a none call. Like concussions aren’t the real danger to a player’s safety.

Come on people. If Trump had really struck a deal with FIFA, Balogun would be suspended for the next two years, Belgium would be given a 2-0 lead to start Monday's game, and we'd all have to pay FIFA $10 to watch the game.

Afro coefficient favors the USA heavily!
Celebrating the Declaration of Independence as “America’s birthday,” is like celebrating the day your parents had sex.
America was not a country till the Constitution was ratified 12 years later.
The lady whose 6yo shot her 12yo in the shoulder www.waff.com/2026/03/23/t... is Facebook shaming our local farmers market for banning a vendor whose gun went off in his pocket injuring three people. www.waff.com/2026/06/13/3...
Alabama really Alabamaing today…
Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US
Data Centers are just the lastest in a long line of land-grab schemes. By marketing it as a utility, they buy-pass all sorts of land restrictions. All any land grab has to do it is “pay the rent.”
These people use America’s unrealistically low borrowing rate to buy up land and then sit on it.
Republicans are the party of “Disproportionate Harm.”
A ‘this will hurt everyone but Black folks the most’ approach.
Democrats are the party of “Diffuse Benefit.”
A ‘rising tide lifts all boats but that includes billionaires and you’ll personally barely notice a difference’ approach.
I know people don’t care but I’m still on the “America’s Birthday” thing. Calling the Declaration of Independence “America’s Birthday” would be like celebrating the day your parents had sex. America was not a nation until the constitution was ratified.
